Chapter 37 Attacking the Municipal Government
Xu Zonggang continued to introduce the situation to the villagers.
“An agricultural company called Alfalfa is planning to contract land to grow pasture. The villagers’ farmland contract fee is calculated as 300 kilograms of wheat for one acre of real estate.”
Hearing this, someone Started muttering.
“The purchase price of wheat this year is 0.6 yuan, and 300 kilograms is 180 yuan.”
"Growing grass? That thing is useless except for feeding cattle and sheep. Can you make money?"
"I won't do it! I want to keep my land for growing food." One of the villagers said The old man said
Someone took the lead, and the crowd became noisy again.
One of the lean young men asked loudly: "Will they pay the contract fee for the wasteland we reclaimed before?"
"Erwazi, your land has been deserted for several years. , what good things are you thinking about!”
Erwazi glared sideways: "No one can touch my land without paying me."
Someone asked again.
"Can you keep some land for yourself? I also want to grow some vegetables."
"If we grow pasture instead of food, what will we eat?"
"180 Isn’t the contracting fee of RMB 50,000 too small? I still have to pay taxes to the state.”
The villagers were discussing noisily.
When Xu Zonggang saw this messy situation, he stood hunched in front of everyone and waved his hand to calm down.
With his actions, most people became quiet, and only some people were still chattering.
But as the atmosphere gradually became quieter, the noise gradually became quieter until it disappeared.
Xu Zonggang looked at all the villagers in Shuangqiao Village. There were only about eighty people in the village, men, women, old and young.
And these people, including children, although they are not considered to be sallow and thin, most of them look old. Many people in their thirties and forties look like they are forty or fifty years old.
Even children look dark due to long-term exposure to the sun.
The clothes they were wearing were even more shabby, and many men and children were topless in order to cool off.
When everyone's eyes were focused on him, Xu Zong just cleared his throat and said:
"The boss who came to book the land said that this time he will own all the land in the village. We want it, and not only our land, but also the wasteland between us and Yuanba Village.”
The crowd was surprised, and someone couldn't help but ask: "What's the use of those deserted beaches? The land created can't even grow wheat."
"Don't talk about wheat. In the past two years, I thought Plant some grass to feed the sheep, but the grass doesn’t grow well.”
“Huh, I can’t control that. He must give you the money.”
“That’s right. That is, who cares about him, the money he should give is absolutely necessary..."
"Village chief, my land is not included, I want to keep it to grow my own food."
Seeing the reaction of the villagers, Xu Zonggang was not surprised at all.
For some older people, the land is their roots.
Moreover, most of the villagers are short-sighted and pursue profit. They will scold someone in the village for a long time because of how many vegetables they planted in their fields.
And now that there is such a rich boss, these people have to find ways to benefit themselves.
“I have already promised that no one will cause trouble for me this time, especially your second son. Your acres of land have been deserted for so many years, and you are still here thinking about that. Click on the contract fee.”
"And does that land belong to you? It's the property of the country." Erwazi is a man who looks a bit stunned, with short hair, in his thirties, and looks a bit not very smart.
“Village Chief, isn’t that what you said belongs to whoever clears the wasteland?”
Xu Zonggang scolded sternly, “You have the right to own those pieces of land? Why, I don’t know where to hide all day long, and it’s only because of your old mother’s ability that I didn’t starve you to death.”
Other villagers followed and said, “Village Chief, Erwazi is not very smart. What is he angry about?”
"You're so fucking stupid!" As he said that, Erwazi was about to hit someone.
Xu Zonggang couldn't help but feel a pain in his head when he saw the many villagers making a fuss together again.
Forget it, I’ve said all that needs to be said anyway.
Leave the headache to be solved by the people from Alfalfa Company.
……
On the other side, when Guo Yang and others were on their way back to the county seat, leaders from the city and county called them one after another.
Guo Yang just said that he had preliminary surveyed the site, but encountered some problems and wanted to communicate face-to-face with the leadership teams of Jinta County and Jiuquan City.
If it can be resolved smoothly, I would like to invite the main responsible leaders from the city and county to have dinner together tonight.
Hearing what Guo Yang said, the leadership team knew that the project was likely to be stable. Even the calmest people were excited at this time.
As for the banquet, the first time must be arranged by their host.
Cities and counties have long heard of the project to improve 200,000 acres of saline-alkali land, but basically no one thought it would fall on them.
Especially the leaders of Jinta County, when they learned that the 200,000-acre saline-alkali land improvement project with an investment of 500 million from Alfalfa was located in Jinta, the leadership team felt as if they had won a grand prize.
These are all political achievements!
You must know that the GDP of Jinta County last year was only over 800 million!
With the advancement of western development in the past two years, their county has also secured many projects.
But most of them are municipal projects, and many of them are directly implemented by central and state-owned enterprises, making it difficult for local governments to get involved.
Most of the problems that fall on them are private enterprises. These enterprises come here with the intention of making money or arranging project funds.
If their policies and financial subsidies are not in place, or if they ask for too much, these private enterprise owners will often just take the bucket and run away.
There are so many districts and counties in the western development, and those with some connections and means can easily get project subsidies wherever they go.
After receiving the news, the Jinta County leadership team hurriedly found the Algohe Company. The city leaders called to ask the Algohe people how the inspection was going.
But they could only say "ah", their eyes darkened, and they didn't know anything.
After several contacts, I found out that two off-road vehicles and a pickup truck were heading towards Shuangqiao Village, Tianxin Town.
After they contacted Guo Yang, everyone in Jinta County who learned Guo Yang’s whereabouts hurried to Jiuquan.
City hall, conference room.
Facing many leading figures in Jinta County and Jiuquan City, Guo Yang made the request calmly.
"Dear leaders, Alfalfa has initially determined the project address: a 200,000-acre saline-alkali flat near Shuangqiao Village and Yuanba Village in Jinta County."
"But after our current Preliminary investigation shows that there are huge problems with domestic water and irrigation water sources in saline-alkali land, and the difficulty of water conservancy and road project construction has greatly increased."
"According to the previous water conservancy project and road supporting facilities set by the province. The policy and funding amount cannot support the completion of various supporting projects required for the improvement of 200,000 acres of saline-alkali land and subsequent forage planting and processing. "
"This part of the difference, or the remaining irrigation canal system, I hope the city and county can find a solution.”
